What's a good eye drop?

It's been so cold that the indoor heat is on full blast, and I feel like my eyeballs are trying to shrivel up into a prune when I go to work (it's true, and the area above bridge of my nose hurt and I prob won't cry even if you shove an onion in my face). And I stare at a computer...almost 24/7. My eyes are also a bit bloodshot sometimes from poking eyelash/rubbing. And I'm terrified of putting anything in my eyes (guess who's never getting contact lenses?)

Wikipedia has a giant list for foods that contain Omega 3 and 6 that include everything from break downs of how much omegas foods contain, various types of seafood, meats, plant sources, and oils.

Chia is rich in fiber and omega 3! It's one of my favorite's to add into drinks.

The chia seeds are sold dry and you can add a teaspoon or two into 8-10 oz of tea or juice (you can get creative and make sparkling lemonades, pomegranate/berry juices, and tea mixes). Let it sit for anywhere fromm 10-30 minutes so they soak up and germinate. They end up getting a jelly like texture/consistency around them. It's quite interesting, but it's a good filling refresher!

Re: What's a good eye drop?

you are 100% right about mercury- wild and farmed fish, on google I was researching found a site- that listed all the manufactors and the ratings, seems like the swiss ones are the best...

omega combo is also not all about fish oils... its flax and borage oils also, there are several vegan formulas... Omegas also helps with beautiful healthy hair, etc's...its not to be taken in large doses...

Re: What's a good eye drop?

I JUST went to my eye doctor with the same problem, I spend hours working on my computer and wearing contacts which has begun to give me dryer eyes and tension headaches. My eyedoctor said the normal person blinks 30-40 times a minute normally, but on a computer only 10-20! (or something drastic like that but it was sorta shocking to me)

Try the 20-20-20 rule (or 15-15-15) where every 20 minutes you take a 20 second break to focus on something 20 feet away. I look out the windows of our office and count windows in the highrise across the street, or at the makeup books down the aisles of our halls.

It definitely makes a difference! I also added Visine for contacts to my makeup bag in my purse, and added Bausch & Lomb re-wetting drops which are helping a lot. If you can try systane do it! You will notice a difference but see if you can even set an alarm or timer to go off every 15 or 20 minutes or you will forget.

Re: What's a good eye drop?

I like to use either refresh eye drops or systane gel. I know what you mean, its cold and windy here and my eyes are jusy dry. I have contacts on and use the refresh for contacts and the systane when I have them off. I remember when I first got my contacts, the doctor was with me for about 20 minutes to get 1 in. Now I'm okay touching my eyes. LOL sounds weird.
